(88) Yoga-drishti-samuccaya 8. Activity - Activity in the form of Tattva, Activity in the form of Tad, Conduct, Observance, Character, and Delight. The soul delights in its own form. "By nature, activity is complete." - Shri Gadh Sakzaya "That stable nature, it produces, the name character, it is without gender...the original path." - Shrimad Rajchandraji Thus, these eight qualities are progressively less, and they are manifested one by one in the eight drishtis.

And here, Asat Shraddha means that which is outside the scriptures, that which is based on the opinion of the father, and that which is a kind of Asad Uha-like alternative. From the alternative of such Asat Shraddha - from its absence - "Sat Shraddhasangata, that kind of Bodha - Avagama (understanding), what is it? It is - Drishtihittyamthiyar - "Drishti" is called - Darshan is Drishti, knowing this - Nishthyapay also, (because there is no Al or Avl in it). From the fruit, this is what is said.
